When an email about a new saddle from Brooks (the world’s oldest bicycle saddle manufacturer) landed in my inbox, I was hoping they were going to offer me a trial run.

Fortunately for you though, it turns out that anyone can register to test the new Brooks C17 for free — and 100 lucky bike-riders will then be chosen to put their new ‘Cambium’ model through its paces.

A quick google suggests that “Are Brooks saddles comfortable?” is an oft-asked question on the world wide web of bicycles, and it sounds like Brooks have been hard at work to create a saddle which provides a definitive answer:

“The Cambium is made from a uniquely flexible natural rubber and organic cotton top, enhanced by a thin layer of structural textile for added resilience. This vulcanized waterproof top, which follows the rider’s movements, is immediately comfortable, maintenance-free, and highly abrasion-resistant to offer the longevity for which Brooks is legendary.”
